No, WSJ was NOT the first to report on the Langley drone incursions. They never acknowledged where the story came from & lifted it months later. If you are watching UAP hearing you can see how large outlets take other's work an brand it their own twz.com/air/mysterious-drone…

The Big Lebowski (1998) John Turturro went to town with his 5 minutes of screen time. The pelvic thrust is worth the admission price alone. The Dude, Donny, Walter and friends drop the The 'F' bomb a whopping 292 times in this Coen classic, which is probably why I love it.

For the second day in a row, Kharkiv is being struck by new Russian drones. The "Molniya" is small enough that you might miss the explosion from a distance, but guess where they're aiming? Yes, at apartment buildings.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Six innocent Iranian protesters have been sentenced to death. These brave young men have only one “crime”: standing by their sisters. When Iranian women rose up after the brutal killing of Mahsa Jina Amini by the morality police, these men stood with them, demanding justice. Now, the same regime that denied killing Mahsa is trying to kill these six men to cover its tracks, to convince the world it was never responsible. But we know the truth. Milad Armoon, Navid Najjaran, Hossein Nemati, Alireza Kafaee, Amirhossein Khosh-Eghbal, and Alireza Barmozpornak are not criminals—they are the voices of a nation demanding dignity and freedom. I call on the international community: do not look away. Come to the aid of the Iranian people. Help us stop this cycle of violence. We need you to raise your voices, to pressure the regime, and to save the lives of these young men before it’s too late. #StopExecutionsInIran #WomanLifeFreedom

Every night for bedtime stories, my son insists I read the label on a can of WD-40. He’s really into non-friction.

Let's be crystal clear: Regimes in Tehran, Moscow, and Beijing have made the targeting of dissidents like @AlinejadMasih a matter of policy. This is one part of a whole-of-society approach to attack the institutions and values that bind together open societies: free expression, free and fair markets, and the open inquiry of ideas. Dictators everywhere must be made to understand that the those living in open societies will no longer tolerate any behavior that undermines the core institutions and values that preserve freedom. Full stop. Read more: rdi.org/articles/dictators-w…
To the White House: By offering me witness protection after the assassination plot, you are effectively doing the Islamic Republic’s bidding; silencing my fight against their terrorist regime and its proxies. Please listen to my testimony before the Homeland Security Committee in Congress.

IMHO, what lies ahead of us all is the most bloodletting period of Russia's war of extermination in Ukraine, and it begins now. In the wake of Trump's initiatives regarding possible negotiations. Putin will triple Russia's efforts to inflict as much strategic damage on Ukraine as possible and to seize as much territory as possible, at absolutely any price. This is going to be a terrible bloodbath, even compared with the carnage on battlefields in recent months. The battle will be terrible, so helping Ukraine's military in his hour remains the #1 priority for those not in the ranks and those who want to stay with the free world.

Terrifying details about the two New Yorkers who were hired by the IRGC to kill me at Fairfield University where I was supposed to give a talk. Shame on you! The university canceled the event to protect the students and attendees. nytimes.com/2024/11/10/nyreg…

Putin continues conning naive western politicians with his nuclear threats and AGAIN and AGAIN they fall for while Russia continues collecting territories. 20 years of this now.
As the recent bestseller has discovered 🇷🇺 was considering using nukes on 🇺🇦 due to 🇺🇦 brilliant offensive & orcs’ heavy losses in the summer of 2022 🇺🇸 persuaded them not to. Since then 🇺🇦 has been bleeding & losing ground Do you understand what Democrats promised Putin?

Russia’s war against Ukraine is genocidal by nature – it targets and attacks real people. Some of these attacks have taken the lives of entire generations, as whole families – parents, grandparents, children — were killed in a single strike in their own homes 🕯 1/10 🧵
